GREEN BAY – Aldermen, please say wes to Walmart, and no to a stadium or music venue.

We live on the river and I would like to know where Jim Schmitt is when the music is playing on CityDeck at midnight sometimes until 2 a.m. This music echoes something awful and keeps us awake many nights.

We need a store closer to us as do many people who live nearby.

As far as hurting the boutiques in the area, I believe this is not going to hurt them at all. When we visit the farmers market, we seldom see anyone visiting these boutiques in the first place.
